Her husband died in 1973, and in 1985, Mrs. Blemer married Dr. John W. Blemer of Danville.

When he died in 1989, Mrs. Blemer moved to San Francisco, where she lived until 1997, at which time she moved to Maine.

Mrs. Blemer's paternal grandfather, Whitney, is a historical figure in Northern California for his post-Gold Rush development of 27,000 acres in Rocklin, Lincoln and Roseville in Placer County.

She is survived by sons Eric E. Heuermann of Groveland (Tuolumne County) and William W. Heuermann of South Thomaston, Maine; stepdaughter Lois Ann Lippincott of Orinda; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

She will be buried at the Whitney family mausoleum in Rocklin.
